Fluid Property evaluation (general)

carbatpy supports property evaluations via REFPROP (NIST) and TREND (RUB). Both must be installed locally. Transport properties for mixtures are available only via REFPROP.

Jupyter-notebook

• How to use carbatpy to manage your fluid calls
• Using TREND6
• Custom Fluid Models (props="CUSTOM")

Up-to-date examples are maintained in the Jupyter notebooks:

• use_fluid_props.ipynb

• custom_fluid_example.ipynb
